Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, West Ashling is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
